«Breaking Pic News» Light aircraft plane crashes into sea at Whitesands Bay West Wales

Holidaymakers were forced to run for cover when a light aircraft came crashing down towards them at a beach in Wales.  

The plane missed day-trippers and surfers by just a few metres when its engine failed and it went plunging into the water at Whitesands Bay in Pembrokeshire this afternoon.  

Witnesses have said the pilot of the light Piper Challenger, believed to be worth £30,000, is lucky to be alive after he was pulled out by emergency services and taken to hospital. 

They were scrambled to the scene soon after the crash happened at 1.30pm today.

The aircraft took off from Haveforwest Airfield before crashing 18 miles away at the popular beach. 

Shocked holidaymakers ran back into the sea when the plane had stopped moving to see if they could help the stricken pilot.  

Andy Carroll, Coastguard Controller said: 'The pilot sustained a head injury and is suffering from shock, he has been handed into the care of the ambulance service.'

Ian Price, owner of a nearby B&B, described the scene as emergency services dashed to the beach - a hotspot for surfers and families.

He said: 'I arrived at the beach after the crash happened and there was a lot of emergency services there - coastguard, police, ambulance. Someone was being carried out by the lifeboat.

'It's lucky it wasn't a week ago when the beach was much busier over school holidays. Today it's been quite windy so there weren't as many people around.'

Sian Richardson, who runs a campsite at Pencarnan just behind Whitesands Beach, was outside when the plane came overhead.

Air accident investigators are soon expected to arrive at the scene to investigate the crash

She told Wales Online: 'It made a really weird noise, like it was coughing and spluttering.

'But the guy flying it was an incredible man - he steered the plane out of the way and stopped anyone getting hurt. 

'He skimmed over the water like a pebble and landed bang on the shoreline. He really was an incredible guy to do that.'

Air accident investigators are soon expected to arrive at the scene to investigate the crash.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
